Emiru has officially shared her stance on an incident that occurred during a meet-and-greet with the Twitch streamer at TwitchCon 2025, involving an assault by an overzealous fan. TwitchCon typically serves as one of the biggest events of the year for the streaming platform, with all the biggest creators on the website getting the chance to interact with and meet their passionate fans. The event typically sees Twitch’s most popular talents come out, with creators like Amouranth, CodeMiko, and ExtraEmily on this year’s guest list. However, the event has already been marred by one controversial fan interaction.
Popular streamer Emiru was on the receiving end of an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous altercation with a fan during this year’s TwitchCon. The incident involved a fan barging into a meet-and-greet and attempting to hug and grab Emiru against her will, with security forced to intervene to break up the interruption. The issue has already incensed fans over the lack of proper security for Twitch’s top talents, with Twitch even making an official statement about the controversy. Now, Emiru is speaking up with her own take on the incident.
Emiru officially shared a statement earlier today with her own stance and opinions on the controversial assault at TwitchCon. Emiru was quick to put Twitch in the line of fire within the post, stating that the man was “allowed to cross multiple barriers” and even passed another streamer’s meet and greet session to reach her. Emiru shared that the staff member intervening in the incident was her own personal security, suggesting that TwitchCon’s staff did not do their part to keep talents safe. The streamer even revealed that the unknown assailant wasn’t officially detained until hours after the incident.

Emiru’s thoughts on the TwitchCon incident ended with some somber words for other streamers that may consider attending the event. Emiru suggested that, despite her ten years of attending TwitchCon, other creators should potentially consider not attending the event due to the clear safety risks. Emiru stated that she “did not feel protected” by Twitch staff during the event, instead having to rely on her own security to keep her safe from unwanted interlopers.
The unfortunate event at TwitchCon comes as Twitch’s top creators have seen plenty of major changes throughout the past few months. Beloved content creator IShowSpeed made waves with his long-awaited return to Twitch in July, amassing 1 million followers on the platform within just over a week after his return. Amouranth similarly came back to Twitch this summer as well, after leaving the platform two years ago for competitor Kick. Fans can only hope that Emiru’s unfortunate Twitch incident will lead to better security and protection for the platform’s streamers.
